Kirstin and I watched The Singing Revolution last night, a film about Estonia's struggle to maintain identity through the long and brutal Soviet occupation from WWII to the early 90s. It is another inspiring story of nonviolent resistance, but unique given the centrality of song in the Estonian struggle. Through their tradition of singing festivals--during which 30,000 people are on stage singing Estonian folk songs together--the Estonians resisted Soviet indoctrination and eventually reasserted their independence. I'd highly recommend the film.
